Let's Talk Knives

WOW!!! Was just sent a picture of our pair of knives in the process. They really do look nice. He is very talented. Very nice indeed!!!

Going to have to figure out how I can post these out on a countertop all the time???

 

What handles are you getting? The tangs look so good I'd be tempted to go with clear acrylic. But then again, the handles he makes are also really good.
I just used both of mine to prepare some zucchini and bell peppers for the grill.

 

^^^^Dark something?? I asked for this and that so I can only hope???

 

I’ve picked the piece I want to use (if it works out).

 

No need to hope. It will look good.

 

Why did you do a handle delete???

 

They are special knives.

 

They look... Tacticool

Ha Ha!!!!!!! I like that very much!!!! I love the center piece it is a great added touch!!!! WOW that is all I can say is just WOW!!! I think that turned out wonderfully!! many thanks and a Good On Ya!!!!

 

Are you using the pepper for size reference

 

No, the knife is there for scale so you can see how big that Hungarian goat horn pepper is!

 

How does one acquire a Hungarian Goat Horn pepper??

 

Okay

 

I really dig it. It has hardly left my pocket since it arrived. Definitely on the larger side for EDC.

 

Nice! Some dropped online yesterday but I held off since I’ve spent way too much on knives the last few months. They were also tanto which I’m not in love with.

I like the larger ones. The Benchmade Crooked River has a 4” blade and I love mine.

 

Hey, I resemble that remark. I stumbled on this one on a surprise drop from Knife Art. It was what I was looking for so I jumped. I had ordered the exact same from CRK about 16 months ago and should come into production in the next few months. I won't need two of the same variant, so if you think you will be interested, let me know and I'll sell it to you at table $. The tanto version is fine, but the drop point on the 'Zaan just fits my eye.

 

I went from zero Sebenzas to three in the last few months, with a fourth that will be here in a couple of days. Only one of which am I even carrying or going to carry. I’d also like an Inkosi Insigo……but like I said that’s way too much cash on knives recently.

That said, maybe.

 

So, here’s a little more detail.
Mama lills peppers are made and sold here in Oregon. We were introduced to them a couple years ago and really love em. Good for lots of stuff and the oil they’re packed in is useful also. I use it to make salad dressings among other things.
Anyway, last fall we ordered the seeds for the Hungarian goat horns and grew them this summer. My goal is to replicate mamma lills.
FYI, they are a type of cayenne, which we usually grow every year. This year we are also growing pimento and 2 paprikas in addition to the standard chilies.

 

Managed to complete this 2 knife set today. I was able to get both knife handle sets out of the same piece of stabilized African mahogany.

WOW!! Again!! Those two look amazing together!! An excellent looking set, I am happy the piece worked out for both! Thank you Ray!!! Very NICE indeed!!!! I appreciate you doing those for us. Ken

 

Ok I keep finding new threads on this forum that I never knew were here and that I will now be following. Here are some of my knives/blades/etc….yea couple years ago went on a knife binge as was spending way too much on guns, that’s a whole other story………..

 

Been carrying this MicroTech ever since it was given to me. Such a great knife!

 

Welcome to the knife thread. There’s a pretty good group of collectors here.
That looks like a closet for Schwarzenegger or Stallone!
Rambo….

 

Ha it’s the closet in my gun room. Pretty good sized. That’s part of it, the other side has the katanas & swords. The real boo ya is the gun collection but I’m too nervous to post any of that online. This is already way above my normalness of sharing personal things, but I’m trying.

 

What RAS package came with a MicroTech

 

Thank you for your service. My son was army, 2nd armored. Here’s a picture. He staged out of Ft Polk. I was born in Baton Rouge…

how about selecting a couple of the knives from your collection and giving us some details?

 

Thank you and thanks for your son’s service as well!! I do NOT miss riding in the military Humvees!! Road in a civilian version years ago and like night and day of course. Military don’t care about no comfort! How did a good ole Louisiana baw end up in Oregon if you don’t mind me asking? Don’t have to be specific in details as trust me I am usually VERY private. Sorry on the request to do individual knife reviews, that’s just not me. I will sound like an idiot, well some may say I do anyway…..nice chatting with ya…..

 

The short answer is that life is too short to spend it all in one place.
